I just came back from a one week vacation on the north pacific coast of Costa Rica... I toured the province of Guanacaste for the first time in my life, and LOVED IT!
Guanacaste is all flat lands! A nice change from the province of San Jose... The beaches of Guanacaste are FABULOUS!
On the last day that I was in the Gulf of Papagayo, my family and I decided to go on a boat tour. Turns out that for just $25 an hour, up to 7 people could go, and even snorkeling gear was included!
After leaving the beach, within 5 minutes dolphins were jumping alongside our boat as we cruised along the Gulf of Papagayo.... That was really something! Then we also got to snorkel on a beach called Playa Penca where we saw some bright-colored fish.
The weather in Guanacaste was fantastic... The heat reminded me of California summers... I really had missed out on so much beauty... If you haven't gone, make some time and get out there!
I am thankful to have visited Guanacaste, can't wait to go again and do some sport fishing next time!
If in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, I recommend you stay at Hotel & Villas Acacia. Good service, good rates, and a very nice pool.
I heard there is a Four Season Resort about to open in the vicinity of Playa Hermosa. Looking forward to visiting there once they open, and as time allows.
As we headed back we stayed at the Barcelo Playa Langosta Beach Resort for one night... It was nice, but not what I expected. Their food was average at best.
A Renewed Tico
